There is a few differences, the P Plus has the Fender Lace Sensor pick ups and a 22 fret neck. The body is also quite different in shape, it has a top horn shaped like a "Boner" hence its nick name. Fender only built them for a few years. I must admit I dont know the technical stuff about it in detail. I bought it when I was about 15 and have played it ever since, its the only bass I have ever owned but I plan to but a cheaper bass to use for gigs in pubs etc.

Fender Precision Bass Plus

Hi.. just found this thread on Precision Bass Plus. I have a '92 model and cherish the thing. I also have the manual which came with it. It is only a small booklet and I have attached a pic of the cover. There are 13 pages covering specs, adjustment care and maintenance. If anyone would like a copy, I would be happy to make a pdf file and pass it on.
Let me know if interested via PM.. Cheers

MIA vs MIM Pbass Deluxe has extra deep cutaways to the body (unique to that bass) Pickups are Lace Sensors on the older ones, active P/humbucker on the newer ones. But they share 1 thing in common: both are fine basses. I own one of each.
My Pbass Deluxe is blueburst: metallic blue fade to black. I'll post some pix when I can find the disc they're on.
Edit: found a pic of the Fender bros:

I have one in Artic White with the white pickguard (just like the one on the cover) I love it and you can get them at resonable prices.
average for non-plain models (white,black, red) is typically $1200 up to $1500 for maple necks in the rare colors and i gotta tell you i would find every penny of it reasonable. the cool thing is if you get plain janes in black or white you can snag one hell of a bass for $700ish
Love the classic look. 
the sunburst looks really classy on the P Plus. when you look at the sunburst its REALLY hard to put your finger on exactly what is different with that precision bass if you dont know exactly what youre looking at
Love the look of sunburst. It's my 2nd favorite, next to natural. Boring and redundant, IMO, are solid colors. Nothing exciting about solid colors at all...and at the head of the boring bunch is flat (matte) black.
I have a 91 p bass plus in blue burst, I bought new. This bass is so nice to play. The neck is slim and fast. The guitar is perfectly balanced. Years ago I modded it before I really knew what I had. I'm in the market now for the black burst. I'll try posting pics, hope it works.(testing)http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i4/lhoglan/misc2024.jpg
Is the colour of my '89 P-plus model is BLACK PEARL BURST??
It was the original finish from fender as it had no signs of any repainting job, as in the neck pocket and pickup/electronics cavities shows the original finishing job done from fender factory. Its look GREEN-er but shines like a solid GOLD under the stage lightings. *my gold pickguard was a sticker.
